Nemesis
Without Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker would still be sowing the crops on Tatooine.
Without Lex Luther, Superman would just be Clark Kent the mild mannered reporter from Metropolis.
Without The Evil Queen's obsession with Snow White, we'd all be jipped of hours of family entertainment and a new Mine Car ride in the Fantasyland Expansion.
Without Skar, ok we'd likley still have Mufasa, but even so... he still lit a fire under Simba's butt, and made him step up and do the right thing regaining his place as king of the pride lands
There have been many nemesises through history, here are just a few more:
Tom and Jerry
Fire and Ice
Batman and The Joker
Aladdin and Jaffar
The Yankees and The Red Sox
Agent P and Doofenshmirtz
The Hatfields and The Mccoys
Coke and Pepsi
Norm and Deodorant
What I am trying to say is, without a Nemesis, the heroes identity can easily be lost.
So in order to Hang on to My identity as Hero of all, and Controller of the universe, yeah... he is a little scared, I assure you. I need a NEMESIS.
And Scott has filled that role quite well.
So
Happy Birthday Nemesis, and here's hoping you have another 100 more to come... unless of course that brake line fails unexpectedly... It could happen!!!
